	If it were my decision to make then yes, it is an accurate statement. 
But then with the way the free software world works you often have code 
that is technically still in a heavy development state being used in 
production all over the place.  The definitions of alpha, beta, gamma & 
production code have blurred to the point where the terms nearly have no 
meaning.  Just sift through the packages in your favorite distro and see 
how many have version numbers less than 1.0 to get an idea.
